Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gianfranco Pagliera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Pearl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pagliera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt . Pearl has chosen yes as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mr Pearl will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John The Pitbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Pitbull comes into the arena with Three 6 Mafia - It's a Fight blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Marcus Miller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
